2.1. FireShield - Fire Protection Solution System

In large-scale manufacturing facilities like Nitto Denko Corporation, fire safety and prevention (FSP) is always a top priority. To meet this requirement, Knauf has provided the FireShield fire-resistant plasterboard ceiling and partition system, which falls under the category of passive fire protection (PFP) solutions in fire safety design, meaning it integrates fire resistance directly into the materials and building structure.

Knauf plasterboard contains inorganic CaSO₄∙2H₂O, with crystalline water that helps absorb heat and prevent the spread of fire. When exposed to high temperatures, this layer of water evaporates, keeping the surface behind the plasterboard cool and protecting structural components for an extended period.

As a result, the FireShield fire-resistant plasterboard ceiling and partition systems not only help extend the fire resistance rating, protecting the building's structural integrity, but also ensure the safety of people and assets in high-risk areas such as production workshops, technical corridors, and emergency exits.

2.2. MoistShield - Moisture-Resistant Solution System

Given Vietnam's tropical humid climate, moisture control is crucial for specialized functional areas that are frequently exposed to high humidity. Therefore, the MoistShield moisture-resistant solution system is implemented in these high-humidity areas to protect the aesthetic appeal of the plasterboard ceiling system over time.

2.3. StandardShield - Regular Solution System

For the remaining areas within the factory, Knauf applies the StandardShield standard solution system to ensure the aesthetic appeal of the space.

2.4. Decorative Suspended Ceiling System

The suspended ceiling system is an ideal solution in environments that demand high aesthetic and technical performance. At the Nitto Denko Vietnam project, Knauf's suspended ceiling system was chosen for its ability to conceal the imperfections of MEP (Mechanical, Electrical, Plumbing) systems, ventilation ducts, and concealed electrical wiring, while simultaneously creating a neat, professional space.

4. Performance & Quality

The selection of integrated solutions from Knauf has helped the Nitto Denko Corporation project address the complex challenges of a high-tech manufacturing environment, delivering practical benefits:

  • Tailored Solutions for Each Area:Knauf provided suitable solution systems for each functional area within the factory, meeting stringent technical requirements.
  • Consistent Product Quality:The provided solutions ensure sustainable and consistent quality, which is particularly important in industrial environments with high humidity and durability demands.
  • Guaranteed Project Schedule:Knauf ensures construction and handover of the project on schedule as required, facilitating quick and precise installation, thereby ensuring the project is delivered on its planned timeline.

Knauf's partnership with the project at VSIP Binh Duong not only affirms its capability to provide integrated plasterboard ceiling and partition solutions but also demonstrates Knauf's commitment to ensuring safety, efficiency, and sustainability for large-scale industrial projects.

With its ability to flexibly meet all technical requirements and international standards, Knauf continues to be a trusted partner for leading corporations, contributing to the creation of modern, safe, and efficient manufacturing spaces in Vietnam.
